Abstract: The zoom lens includes, in order from the object, a first lens group (G1) having negative refractive power, a second lens group (G2) having positive refractive power, and a third lens group (G3) having negative refractive power. Upon zooming from wide-angle end (W) to telephoto end (T), each distance between adjacent lens groups is varied. The second lens group (G2) includes, in order from the object, a front group (G2a) having positive refractive power, and a rear group (G2b). Focusing on the object is carried out by moving the front group (G2a) along the optical axis. 
The zoom lens further fulfils two sets of inequalities: 
(1) 1,2 < f2/fw < 1,9 and 
(2) -2,1 < f3/fw < -0,8 
where f2 and f3 denote the focal lengths of the second and third lens groups, respectively and fw the focal length of the zoom lens at wide-angle end.

Abstract: A discharge lamp lighting circuit is capable of preventing the discharge lamp from going out unexpectedly. The discharge lamp lighting circuit includes a DC-AC inverter which receives a power source voltage, boosts and converts the power source voltage into AC and supplies AC electric power to the discharge lamp 21. A control circuit sends a long cycle signal when the discharge lamp 21 is started. The cycle of the long cycle signal is longer than a frequency at the time of steady lighting. The control circuit sends a steady drive signal, which is a frequency at the time of steady lighting, to the DC-AC inverter 25. A cycle of the long cycle signal is set according to at least one of the power source voltage, the temperature of the discharge lamp lighting circuit or the extinguishing time.

Abstract: In certain example embodiments, techniques for operating vehicle lights are provided. A capacitive light sensor is configured to sense a presence and intensity of light over at least one wavelength, with each said wavelength being associated with a respective output channel of the light sensor. A buffer is filled with data from the at least one output channel, with the buffer being filled with a predetermined number of data points at a predetermined frequency. An edge change is detected in the data in the buffer. An on/off state of the vehicle lights is maintained when an edge change is not detected. When an edge change is detected, when the data passes from a high value to a low value through a first predefined threshhold and remains lower than the first predefined threshold for a persistence interval, the vehicle lights are turned on, and when the data passes from a low value to a high value through a second predefined threshold and remains higher than the second predefined threshold value for the persistence interval, the vehicle lights are turned off. The second threshold is equal to the first threshold plus a hysteresis factor. The capacitive light sensing approaches of certain example embodiments may be time, space, and/or wavelength multiplexed.

Abstract: An optical waveguide manufacturing method which obviates a developing step and stably provides greater differences in refractive index between a core and cladding layers. A core formation photosensitive resin layer is formed on a surface of an under-cladding layer, and then exposed in a predetermined pattern. A core is formed which is defined by an exposed portion of the core formation photosensitive resin layer. Surfaces of the exposed portion and an unexposed portion of the core formation photosensitive resin layer are covered with an over-cladding layer formation photosensitive resin layer. The two photosensitive resin layers are heated, whereby a resin of the unexposed portion of the core formation photosensitive resin layer and a resin of the over-cladding layer formation photosensitive resin layer are melt-mixed together to form a mixture layer. Then, the mixture layer is exposed, whereby a third cladding layer is formed defined by the exposed mixture layer.

Abstract: A contrast media injection system includes detects the absolute position of the syringe ram using a non-contact sensor. A series of magnets and Hall-Effect sensors may be used or an opto-reflective system. Illuminated knobs that are connected to the drive mechanism for the syringe ram rotate with the drive and provide visual feedback on operation through the illumination. Analog Hall-Effect sensors are used to determine the presence or absence of magnets that identify the type of faceplate being used. The faceplates include control electronics, connected to the powerhead through connectors, which may be interchangeably used by the two faceplates. The faceplate electronics include detectors for automatically detecting the capacity of pre-filled syringes. Additional features include using historical data to provide optimum pressure limit values during an injection protocol, a removable memory device for storing and transferring information such as injection protocols and injector statistics, and password protection of such protocols.

Abstract: Six input channels, to which are allocated 5.1-channel surround signals from a plurality of input sources, are grouped into a surround channel group, and these six input channels are connected to corresponding ones of six surround buses in a one-to-one relationship. Thus, merely grouping the input channels into a surround channel group allows the signals of the individual input channels (5.1-channel surround signals) to be taken out via a plurality of output destinations (5.1-channel speakers) corresponding to the surround buses. Once an instruction is given for changing a value of a parameter, the parameter is controlled in a ganged fashion in all of the input channels of the surround channel group except for an LFE input channel of the surround channel group.

Abstract: A rotation-activated electronic component, preferably a RFID tag (110) mounted on or incorporated in a support (100) that is rotated when read, e.g. a CD or DVD. The RFID tag (110) comprises an antenna (112), a rotational switch (114) and a component (116), advantageously a processor. The antenna (112) is adapted to transform received RFID signals (722) to electric energy that powers the component (116). In a preferred embodiment, the rotational switch (114) is adapted to cut the circuit unless the support (100) does not rotate at or above a certain rotational speed (370). Supports equipped with the RFID tag of the invention will thus respond only if they rotate sufficiently. This can avoid collisions in case more than one such RFID tag is within communication range of an antenna (720) of a reader. In a preferred embodiment, the information returned by the component (116) is needed for full use of the content on the support (100).
